Airborne Units / Airborne School

If you are joining as an 11B and you are going to be assigned to an Airborne unit, does that mean you will go to Airborne School after OSUT? Or does Airborne School have to be in your enlistment contract as well?

Thanks!

Well the only guaranteed way to go is to get it in your contract. If you're going to an airborne unit, you'll get it in you contract. And yes, you would most likely go right after OSUT unless your unit is broke.

If you have a contract already, then it will be spelled out for you in black and white. If you are still in the recruiting process, then this is a good question to your recruiter. You can always contact the unit you are wanting to join and ask them thier specific guidelines if you do not have Airborne school in your contract. In this forum you can get generalized answers, but to get the straight talk you will need to pursue this locally with your recruiter and unit.
